    You can romanticize about it all that you want, at the end of the day a badly worn razor is a badly worn razor. If you buy an old-timer car, noone is going to be lyrical about it if it is falling apart from rust and one of the cilinders ain't firing. And noone is going to say they felt it should remain looking like crap instead of being professionally restored.

    The final result is stunning. Enjoy it and stop talking yourself into the gotta have it original. Cause you know what? Its getting harder and harder to find those NOS farm finds. Every year that goes by, makes it harder.

    Slight necropost on this one but as far as this blade, as mentioned, the shave is both fun and efficient but the one thing I have to get used to is that the shank is so wide compared to what I am used to, I feel a little clumsy stropping. I have slowed down and have to reposition my fingers more often.

    At least Noah's wife ( Joan of Ark) took all her pets with them so they had someting to eat on the journey.

    I did hear that they took a street magician called Jesus, too, but half the crew were gluten intolerant and the rest got sick of fishes in a week or two.

    Good job he could walk on water...

    Regards,
    Neil

    You read it here first and its all true, honest...
